Rejuvenate Your Bond with the Energy of Nature Alumni|1-day Workshop by Dr Claire Elouard

It is good to continuing to practise communicating with nature by oneself, as a group, or even better to connect with our teacher Dr Claire Elouard – all can continue to guide us to deepen our practice and refresh our learning.

This year our focus is on grounding, the opening of our hearts and building relationships with the well maintained trees at KFBG farm. During the one-day workshop you will experience a rich refreshing journey at KFBG, including: 

● Guided Exercises: These exercises go deeper into our connection with the soil’s energy and our anchoring and stability; we explore how we can open our hearts and our perception of its opening; and we practise connecting with various trees.
● Solo time: As a tree energy practitioner, you will also be invited to have solo time in nature, to connect with the energy of the beautiful environment of KFBG. This is a moment to re-encounter the same place with different sensitivities that can lead you to a next level of understanding and experience. 
● Co-learning from teacher and the group: Have questions from your own practice in nature and your daily life? There is the opportunity to practise together and enjoy co-learning with Dr Claire Elouard and the group, sharing experiences and listening to the perceptions and comments of others. 

Nonetheless, we will practise together and enjoy the time to co-learn within the group by sharing yours and listening to others perceptions and experiences.

It will be a day of connection, of joy, of happiness, of empathy, of emotions, of discoveries, of wonders, and of oneness.
